In a new man-on-the-street video by PragerU, Will Witt visits the University of California San Diego to see what students think about Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara. Witt got a mixed a reaction, some celebrating him, others not such big fans, but found that most of the students didn’t appear to know much about the iconic radical.

Part of what prompted Witt’s series of questoins was the new “Che Cafe” that opened up in connection to the student organization offices on campus. In a discussion with one of the students working with the “Che Cafe,” Witt is told that the place is designed to be “part student community center, part vegan kitchen,” a “safe space” and a space for “radical ideologies.”
